So... on the 5th, I achieved the goal of Aqua Slotted Pants. Today's goal is the Egyptian Short Wig (Gold Band) and I'll edit this entry to show when I've got it (I don't think it'll take that long...) Edit: Got it! 
>>;; Of course, we had an item update yesterday... and within about ten to fifteen minutes of the item update, I was getting gold shoved on me to buy new items.
I'm so weak-willed when it comes to shinies.... gonk But I have a bunch of the newly released items.... whee heart AFTER I'd spent all the gold, I discovered that you can get DRAGON tattoos at the new tattoo parlor. DRAGONS

I know I keep telling everyone not to get me anything... but... but...
I'd just spent all available gold, and and... D R A G O N S

sweatdrop ><;;So I let someone buy me the dragon tattoos, but made them agree not to get me anything else for a while. <<;;; >>;;;
So I have dragons.

In other news... I have a few comments to make about the final exam on the online class I was taking. ><;; I was happy to complete the class, and to get 100% on the exam. However, I got really really irritated with the exam questions. It reminded me of how annoyed I used to get with things like that when I was in high school.
I know they're a bit limited when they need to use a multiple choice format for the questions... but all putting questions on the exam that are basically opinion questions which make certain you HAD to have read the course material to answer them do is... verify that you've read the material. It doesn't ensure that you've learned or understood anything at all.
One question that really annoyed me was: 'what is the most important skill for...?' which is an opinion question, I'm sorry... no matter how many people agree that one thing is most important for something, there are bound to be a few who disagree. It should instead be asking, 'why is <insert skill here> so important?'
I could go on, but I'll leave it at that for now. <<;;
And uh... that's it, I think. I'll be kinda busy over the weekend, but still trying to find time to earn a few goldies and whittle away at my wishlist. I have Monday off to spend more time with my son, so it'll be Tue. before I'm back at work.

Even with combining inks back, I keep wincing at how many of the base colors I'll be needing just to MAKE the combined colors. crying
